- The 97th Academy Awards were held in Los Angeles on Sunday.
- The event had memorable musical performances, wins, and speeches.
- “Anora” won the Oscar for best picture, the biggest award of the night.
The 97th Academy Awards were full of show-stopping performances and memorable Oscar wins.
“Anora” was the biggest winner of the night with five Academy Awards including best picture.
Oscars viewership has declined over the past decade — around 43.7 million people watched the Academy Awards in 2014 compared to 19.5 million in 2024 — but this year, audiences were promised a new host and a new way to watch: The ceremony streamed live on Hulu for the first time.
However, once the show got underway on Sunday, Hulu’s streaming service glitched for users several times throughout the night. When some users were unable to log in to watch the show, Hulu Support wrote on X that it had “identified the issue and users affected should be able to log back in again soon.”
Others experienced an abrupt end of the broadcast just before the award for best actress was announced, leaving some viewers unable to watch the final two awards of the night. A representative for Hulu did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider.
Here’s a recap of the biggest moments.
